An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine, which I quote:
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of
2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 806 per 100,000 for the same
period.
That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed
in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the
US, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: "The US should pull out of Washington."
